i still think states like Wisconsin and Wyoming got it right back in the day that it isn't either allowed or constituionally isn't allowed for a Wisconisn State or Wyoming State....instead of adding more cost for athletics and splitting academics

North Dakota needs to do this:  1 Flagship UND and all the rest are major based 2 year colleges....ag, law enforcement, teaching, forestry...............

That is such a dumb move by those two schools.  The MWC is just as good or better than the AAC post them getting gutted by the Big 12.

Oh, I agree - I don't understand the motive for Colorado State or Air Force.  People talk about the money differences between AAC and MWC.  But, I believe those media contracts have a "subject to change" clause which is going to materially change the current numbers for AAC to be more in line with the MWC or even lower.  I really don't understand it and the only school that is in really in play for the Big 12 right now is Boise State.  I can see Colorado State, San Diego State and UNLV being seriously considered in the near future for P5 conference.  But for right now the MWC is the best option IMO.

Also, UND needs to seriously look into what it would cost to expand the Alerus center in the South end zone to get capacity up to at least 15k.  If the MWC collapses and if schools in the new WAC or ASUN are able to transition to FBS, UND can't be flat footed if Big Sky and MVFC teams start looking to make moves.  I would really like to see a Dakotas/Montanas/Wyoming FBS conference in the future, and I think it is possible given how much shake up we have seen in the FBS recently.  I'm talking longer term.  An FBS move could help to potentially lure UNI/Illinois State/Missouri State away from the MVC as well.  I'm talking years ahead.  At some point the MVC football and non football teams are going to split.  It's inevitable.

Summit teams need to look out for themselves as well.  Any of their teams look at football only for other conferences, backfill them with someone else.  Stop making it easy for teams to continue to leave.  The MVFC and Summit league are in the same offices correct?

Can confirm @Brett_McMurphy reporting in that Colorado St + Air Force are heavily involved in talks to leave the MW, join the AAC. Brett reporting it's "likely next week." Source tells CBS: "Getting closer, not across the line yet." Clear desire for the AAC to add more than two.

Looks like Air Force and Colorado State came to their senses and told the AAC "thanks, but no thanks".

Idaho, NMSU, EWU, Weber, Cal Davis, Cal Poly could all be options too

would be more likely, but some of these teams already struggle for funding. Boise and WY would not leave the MWC
